is there any way to cancel macros?
thanks...

not once you send it. The point of a macro is to send it in one burst to be super fast. If you want to cancel it, you would need to write a rexx script. ESC cancels scripts.

thanks. also, could i have a macro run another macro? or is that not possible too...

that is not possible. You need a rexx script. tell me what you are trying to do. I, and other members, i am sure will help you write the script you are looking for.

basically, i have this problem because i haven't bought the full edition of the helper and i was looking for a way around that

I was trying to create some macros to use, but after i did, It says i can only use 20 characters. So i was thinking of using something like this...

when i press f3
blahfor18charactersF4
blahfor18charactersF5

and so on, so i can run long macros without using the quick macro, which can use a lot more characters, but must be recreated each time.

I was thinking of using it for simple things...buy from ports and leave it on several planets for citadels, or buy shields and leave them on several planets. That sort of thing. If you have any suggestions, great. Otherwise, i think i will be able to get by.

hehe

I had forgotten that i put that limitation in there. Now i see that there was good reason for it. You can obviously keep doing what you are doing. However, you will eventually fuse your ship trust me... i have done it.

in any case, shell out the cash if you are gonna really use the helper since it is worth it. The database tools like port reports are invaluable if you want to be a competitive player. and the rexx stuff rocks.

thanks for the advice. Don't know if i'll end up buying it or not, but if i don't i'll just have to watch out. the place i play isn't too competitive, so unless that changes i probably won't buy it. School = dont have money

Thanks
